What Causes Itching And Fluid- Filled Bumps On The Legs That Become Sores?
I have dry itchy patches on my legs that have small bumps that have clear fluid when scratched. After scratching they become bloody sores. I used a steroid cream and it made it inflamed and spread. Only thing that seems to ease the itching and pain is athetes foot cream but it makes my skin so dry then the itching starts and then the cycle repeats

thanks for posting your query to hcm.
As I understand it could be a infection . First I suggest you to go for microscopic examination of fluid and skin scrapping from itchy area . It will guide us about causative agent of disease ,either it could be fungal or bacterial or mixed . Avoid steroid containing cream as it can enhance fungal infection . after final diagnosis I will suggest you correct management .
hope it will help you .
